The Rodings

[1] The Rodings do not lie within a single district in the county; they are arranged around the tripoint of the administrative areas of Chelmsford, Uttlesford and Epping Forest.

[2][3] The Rodings, the remnants of a single Anglo-Saxon community known as the Hroðingas, were led by Hroða; who sailed up the River Thames and along a tributary, to settle in the area in the sixth century.

[5] In the time of Edward the Confessor, it was held by the Abbey of St Æthelthryth of Ely; however, after the Norman Conquest, part was taken by William de Warenne.

Crops grown at the time were chiefly wheat, barley and beans, on a heavy soil with a clay subsoil.

It is operated by Arriva Shires & Essex, running hourly in each direction to Harlow via Hatfield Heath and Chelmsford via Roxwell.
